Mark Gorrie is online security company Norton’s Territory Manager and says that many people consider themselves “low-risk”, but engage in common high-risk behaviour, such as sharing passwords and using the same password across multiple accounts.

In fact, 44 per cent of Australians have shared their password with someone else.
